Brandon Nakashima will face the qualifier Marton Fucsovics in the second round at the Japan Open. This is their first meeting in five years, and the winner will take on Carlos Alcaraz or Zizou Bergs in the quarter-finals. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
Brandon Nakashima is seeking to move past the second round for the first time in Tokyo. The American, who made his debut here in 2022, has lost both times he has made it to this round.
Making his fourth consecutive appearance, Nakashima endured a difficult opener against Jordan Thompson. The match lasted three hours and seven minutes and saw a tiebreaker required in each of the first two sets. Now up to 32nd in the live ranking, Nakashima has improved to 30-24.
Marton Fucsovics defeated Nakashima when they first duelled. Though this was five years ago, he will be hoping to maintain his 100% record against the American and prolong his debut in Tokyo.
The Hungarian is having quite the tournament and has won all three of his duels. After getting past the qualifiers without a set lost, Fucsovics fought his way from a losing position to shock eighth seed Frances Tiafoe.
He won their first-round showdown in three sets and, in turn, has shot up seven places to 51st in the live ranking.
